Beverly Hills Dead
Stuart Woods
Putnam Adult, 2008
Very different style.....
+ WHO Would Like Beverley Hills Dead and Why? For Some Folks, It Would Be a Great Gift!
This book is totally different from others by Stuart Woods. It deals with McCarthyism in Hollywood and I wasn't sure I would like it. Woods, as always, puts together a great story with believable characters. The storyline, based on real events, flowed. another winner for Stuart Woods!

After Dark (Vintage International)
Haruki Murakami
Vintage, 2008
Mesmerizing

+ Intriguing, but with too many loose ends.
I think this is the most down-to-earth novel by Mr. Murakami that is published now but with a touch of his earliest novels. I admire his recent novels but I also love his previous ones.
